A woman who yelled “Don’t kill him! Don’t kill him!” just as jurors were to begin considering whether Colorado theater shooter James Holmes’ mental illness might be a reason to spare him from the death penalty was sentenced Thursday to three weeks in jail for contempt of court.

James Holmes’ mother insisted Wednesday that she would “have been crawling on all fours” to reach him had she known he was talking about killing people weeks before he ambushed a crowded Aurora movie theater.

The father of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes says he noticed his son had an odd facial expression about seven months before the attack, and he was reminded of it later when he saw his son’s mug shot.

The father of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes said Tuesday that he didn’t know his son suffered from mental illness before he attacked the audience at a Batman movie, killing 12 people three years ago.
